docker-plasma5

This Dockerfile will build a plasma5 desktop based on Kubuntu-next repo.

Try plasma5 beside your current desktop

Start a second X server

startx -display :1 -- :1 vt8

• You can change vt8 with any tty available.
• Also, if your X server is already running on :1, increment this value as you want.

Allow access to your X server

Assuming your new $DISPLAY value for this X server instance is :1 :

DISPLAY=':1' xhost +

Run Plasma5 in Docker

docker build -t plasma5 .

DISPLAY=':1' docker run \
    --rm=true \
    -e DISPLAY="$DISPLAY" \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:ro \
    plasma5

Then go to tty8, Plasma5 is starting !
